Studying Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences: what does it really mean?
In the Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences programme at PMU, you follow an innovative, practice-oriented curriculum. It prepares you for the many careers open to pharmacists. In interprofessional courses, you learn together with students of human medicine and nursing science, just as you will work together later in patient care. You benefit from modern research facilities and close ties to the University Hospital Salzburg. You study in small groups and have your own laboratory place, so you can focus on learning.
